Upton (neck) is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

Analysis:

Upton will now miss consecutive contests with a neck injury after he ran head-first into a wall trying to chase down a fly ball against the Brewers. While the injury was said not to be serious, it's unclear how long he will be out of the lineup. For now, Alexi Amarista will get the start in left field and hit sixth in the batting order for the Padres.
